About Me

I worked at the World's Biggest Bookstore in Toronto for 10 years, until it closed in 2014. During my time there I planned themed endcaps and did author interview displays.
From September 2010 until December 2012 I contributed book reviews and New Author Spotlight posts to SF Signal. From August 2013 to May 2014 I did a Recommended Reading with Professionals column there once or twice a month.
I've got a BA in Medieval History from the University of Toronto.
I'm an avid photographer and crafter, and started making my own greeting cards a few years ago.

I finally got around to backing the POC Destroy Science Fiction kickstarter (which is funded but has 9 days left), and the site recommended some other projects I might be interested in. Turns out it was right and I am interested in BLACK, a graphic novel kickstarted by Kwanza Osajyefo, Tim Smith 3, Jamal Igle, and Khary Randolph.

The premise:

In a world that already fears and hates them – what if only Black people had superpowers?

Here's the longer synopsis:

After miraculously surviving being gunned down by police, a young man learns that he is part of the biggest lie in history. Now he must decide whether it's safer to keep it a secret or if the truth will set him free.

The $10 mark gets you the 6 issues of the first volume of the comic. $25+ shipping for the physical book. It's already funded and working towards the stretch goals.
